First of all I would like to thank every participant and every individual who took the time to cast their votes. After speaking to many of you on the official Neophyte Studios Discord I want to say that I am proud of everyone for answering our call for submissions. In our main category the voting was quite tight, therefore we have multiple runners-up for that entry as we had a 3-way tie for second place!
This has been quite the success as far as we here at Neophyte Studios are concerned. Follow us on itch, Twitch, Youtube, or Facebook or join our Discord and keep your eyes peeled because the next (improved) iteration of the Narrative Game Jam | Sponsored by Southern Illinois University's College of Liberal Arts Digital Humanities Lab is not far off.
